Olympus Inverted Biological Microscope CKX53

Olympus Inverted Biological Microscope CKX53With improved image quality and ergonomics, the Olympus CKX53 offers * * performance and comfortable workflow requirements for various cell cultures, including live cell observation, cell sampling and processing, image capture, and fluorescence observation.

Observation of live cells

Realize fast and efficient observation through integrated phase difference (iPC) system

The high contrast achieved by the CKX53 iPC system provides cells with a clear field of view at 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x, without the need for users to switch or replace phase contrast rings. The new phase difference system facilitates faster and more comfortable workflow for simple and effective cell observation.

Clear, FN22 wide field of view 2X objective lens

Olympus CKX53 Conventional Inverted MicroscopeThe PLN2X objective with a phase difference plate hole, CKX3-SLPAS, 22mm field of view, and an inner diameter of 11mm. As a result, the observation using this objective is effective in screening the desired cells, thereby achieving a faster cell culture process. The 2X objective provides significantly higher contrast, while other objectives enable clear identification of even transparent objects in the sample. For example, when viewing a 96 well microplate, a wide field of view allows for observation of all cells without the need to move the stage.

Experience the "Reverse Contrast" (IVC) technology driven by 3D views

With this newly developed IVC technology, the phase contrast of the depth of field ratio enables the presentation of clear three-dimensional images for any shape or transparent object. In addition, the observation of IVC did not provide clear opinions on halo or directional shadows, and the completeness of the detailed information of the objects retained during the observation process.

*10X objective lens (PLCN10X, CACHN10XIPC) is used for the observation of this new IVC.

User oriented design for effective cell sampling and processing

Effective cell observation under sterile conditions

CKX53 is designed to fit on a clean mirror body. With its anti UV coating, the microscope can be left on a clean mirror body during the UV lamp sterilization process. Compared to previous models such as CKX, CKX53 weighs about 7 kilograms and is lighter in weight, with a smaller volume that takes up less laboratory space. A microscope can be easily moved with just one hand and observed through the neck of the tube. The base of the microscope has a sliding pad for easy positioning.

Easy cell sampling in a sterile desktop environment

The shorter distance between the viewpoint and CKX53 optical axis/focusing knob facilitates natural hand positioning, making focusing and cell sampling easier.

Ergonomic design facilitates user operation

The Olympus CKX53 microscope, whether observing from a standing or sitting position, has a 45 degree eyepiece and a butterfly shaped observation tube positioned opposite the stage, which facilitates ergonomic cell observation. Aseptic work can begin and quickly complete the time outside the miniaturized cell culture box.

All including power switches, coarse and fine focal points, and knob controls for switching optical paths are ergonomically positioned to enhance operation and reduce user fatigue.

Varieties that can accommodate cell culture containers

The universal bracket with CKX53 is easily visible in various containers, including culture dishes, microplates, and flasks. When attaching the optional bracket, three additional 35mm culture dishes can be suitable for mounting on the stage. In addition, different types of microplates can be processed without retainers.

A more comprehensive observation of multi-layer thin bottles

The width of the Olympus CKX53 microscope and the easily detachable spotlight can also view containers, such as multi-layer tissue flasks, up to a height of 190mm. The excellent depth of the focal point of the PLC4X objective enables quick and easy cell observation of the two bottom layers inside the multi-layer tissue flask.

The flexibility of using different containers

The arm of the container handle allows users to manually position and lift the cell culture container. In addition, this stage can be extended to a greater processing flexibility of around 70 millimeters.

Fluorescence observation

Fluorescent dyes with wide range and clear field of view

The Olympus inverted microscope CKX53 standard fluorescence kit allows even weak fluorescence signals to be clearly observed with different integrated light sources, such as a 100W mercury lamp (U-LH100HG), a 130W high-pressure mercury lamp (U-HGLGPS), and third-party LEDs *. With us**The same type of mirror device provided by the IX3 and BX3 microscopes can be set in the three slots of the reflector device slider.

High contrast under bright conditions

The Olympus inverted microscope CKX53 is designed for fluorescence observation using the CKX53 on a "light blocking plate". Shielding effectively blocks indoor light, improves the contrast of fluorescence, and enables clear fluorescence observation even under bright laboratory conditions. When using phase difference, the shading plate can lift the light transmitted to the sample.
